Maryland Terrapins Host Niagara Purple Eagles at Xfinity Center in Women's Basketball Clash

In their last game against UMass Minutewomen, the Terrapins dominated with a 92-point finish compared to their opponents' 63. Their offensive prowess was on full display as they shot 51 percent from the field and an impressive 79 percent from the free-throw line. The team also excelled defensively with a total of 19 steals and capitalized on turnovers by scoring 42 points off them.


The previous game saw a slight dip in shooting efficiency for Maryland against Green Bay Phoenix, where they shot only 33 percent from the field and made just one out of eleven three-point attempts. Despite this, they managed to secure a win with strong defensive rebounds (39) and free throw accuracy (86 percent).


Against Washington State Cougars, although ending up on the losing side with 67 points against Cougars' robust offense of 87 points, Maryland showed resilience. They fought hard in terms of second-chance points (14) and maintained a positive assist-to-turnover ratio (1.09).


The Xfinity Center is known for its vibrant atmosphere which could play to Maryland's advantage as they look to extend their winning momentum at home. With solid defense turning into fast-break opportunities and efficient scoring inside, fans can expect Maryland to leverage these strengths.


Mark your calendars for November 30th when these two teams face off at College Park's Xfinity Center. Fans not able to attend can catch all the action live on B1G+ network online broadcast starting at tip-off time.
